OT: Cord Blood Donation
Hi,
I feel very strongly about the importance of donating umbilical cord blood for use in transplants for people with blood diseases. I also have a pretty good relationship with my emom so I'd like to suggest the cord blood be donated after delivery. Does anyone have experience with cord donation in an adoption situation? Wondering if there are any unusual issues to be aware of? Thanks!

We banked Lily's cord blood but we didn't donate it. Lily was a baby born situation so bmom requested it be saved so we could make the decision. I would talk to emom and express your wishes and see how she feels about it. Donating is one of the most precious of gifts....it's the gift of hope.
Here is a link with the steps.. Donate Umbilical Cord Blood. Give Birth to Hope.

That's something I wish we could have done. We didn't the call until DS was already 3 days old.

I would say that all you can do is suggest it. Ultimately it will be the emom's decision.
